Perspective: Astrology

This pic is a Photoshop effort, with the base a picture of a piece of jewelry on display at the Griffith Observatory.

I spent a few hours there today, and itwas so beautiful. The "flaky" part of me(the part of me that likes Astrology, andthe planets, and things of that sort - andso named by my brother) loves thingslike what the observatory had to offer.

I was looking for a park like place to spendthe day and @nsane8 took me there, and itwas perfect.

I took a bunch of pictures, and we'll seewhich ones might be shareable for anyoneinterested. From the observatory grounds,you can get a great view, too, of the famous Hollywood sign.

When thinking about planets, I think aboutastrology, and what it might have to offer.

There are two awesome books that come to mind on this subject, and if you have a moment, perhaps check them out for yourself, and see whether or not they "fit" you and your interests. For me they both have helped to validate who I am, and how I am, and who doesn't appreciate some validation every now and again?

I don't know about you, but it's not oftenI re-read a book, and even when I do, I don't often appreciate it as much the second time around. The second of the twobooks is one I read several years ago, andam again reading it with incredible interestand passion. It "speaks" to me differentlynow that I have had a few more years of life experience and perspective.

The first book is a resource book that I have pulled out several times for myselfand others, especially in relation to howwe are affected by Lunar and Solar Eclipseenergy prior to our birth. The LunarEclipse speaks to the lessons we are hereto learn, and the Solar Eclipse speaks tothe gifts we have been given.

To anyone I have ever shared these pages with, it has been a "bulls-eye." Amazinghow something that speaks to us can provideperspective that can be empowering...evenwhen (and especially if) it's somethingwe already recognize about ourself.
